    when you butter and sugar your ramekins at the beginning put them in the fridge and don’t take them out til you are ready to fill them. It can make the difference in success or failure.

    • @mymathmind
      @mymathmind 4 роки тому +8

      Yep. The edges of his soufflés were breaking up. Ramekins should have been chilled and the cream as well. There are going to be a lot of soufflés being made with broken edges 😂

    • @simonh6371
      @simonh6371 4 роки тому +25

      Butter them once with soft butter brushing upwards in strokes, and put in the freezer. Then make your meringue etc. Take them out of the freezer then butter again ensuring the insides are fully coated, again with upward strokes of the brush, before applying the sugar coating. Then put the folded mixture in - ideally with a piping bag - and bang the ramekins hard a few times on the bottom to allow to settle, top up to the rim of the ramekin if necessary, smooth the surface, and run your finger around the inside top edge of the ramekin taking care to leave the coating of butter/sugar intact. After that they will rise to at least twice the height of those in this video, or double the height of the ramekin, like mine do

    Hi Thomas, your videos are brilliant! I just made my first Japanese souffle cheesecake but watched your video on meringue beating and it absolutely made a difference to my cake which turned out so well. I am watching calories and health issues for my husband and myself and we eat a lot of salmon. I'm going to try a olive oil based, non-egg yolk salmon mixture with addition of the stiff peak egg white mixture. Can i ask if there is a perfect ratio for base to meringue I need to know to ensure a good result, and what temperature I should bake it at?..i am keen to try both tinned and fresh salmon. Thank you in advance, a new fan from Singapore!

    I have a Ktichen Conundrum. I'm trying to recreate these square fruit flavored jelly candies wrapped in rice paper I had in Hong Kong. I'm tried gelatine but it's too chewy, I tried agar agar but they came out too crumbley. The texture I want is a tender jelly but firm candy that's easy to bite through, no chewiness, no crumbliness, rather sticky. Would corn syrup and less agar agar work? Fruit juice?

    Would the difference in sized eggs make any differences in the souffle?

    I have made souffle a couple of times now, and I have done everything according to the recipe. But it tasted too eggy for some reason. Help appreciated.

    how about a savory souffle? would that change the pastry base of the souffle?

      Yeah instead of Creme patisserie or pastry cream you would make the base from a bechamel sauce and then proceed the same way with the egg whites and flavour it with cheese or anything else you'd like.

    About the meringue, it's true that if you whisk many white egg (About 15 or more) the meringue cannot have fluffy texture? Sorry for bad english

      Nero Warchaos no I don't think so,,I'm not a professional but it doesn't matter about the amount of egg whites, they'll just need a longer time of beating them because there is more
